The Instruction Manual To Being a Vampire by @craigwallwork.bsky.social is a TERRIFIC read! I've got to Chapter 5 and am loving it. It's laugh out loud funny too. 🩸📚💙📚😱📚

BACKROOMS next up on the big screen. Could the hype be right about this one, too? Y'know, I haven't been to the cinema this much to watch my beloved genre EVER. It's GLORIOUS! #horror

From Memes, Dreams, Reflections: "Marjane Satrapi, Author of ‘Persepolis,’ Dies at 56 "Her graphic novel series, published in English in 2003, followed an Iranian girl through the Islamic revolution and the Iran-Iraq War. The work helped millions relate to Iranians."

Working on new novella today, wrote other words too #poetry

Off to see Obsession in a few hours. Heard lots of good things about this one, hoping it lives up to the hype.

Such beautiful prose. I highly recommend this novella for the darklings that wished to be wooed. 🩸📚 #horror #booksky

Spent Saturday in London checking out the new Tracey Emin exhibition (so good!) at the Tate, then over to Knightsbridge for the #FreeVerse poetry fair where I picked up Necrosmologies by Anthony Cartwright (an absolute dark gem of a book published by @thebraag.bsky.social)

Sorry to miss #HorrorWritersChat tonight, but I'm attending something related to the topic. Have fun!

Stage set for a talk on The History of Folk Horror with Prof Marisa Linton.

Had a great evening in Bath yesterday listening to Joe Abercrombie chat with Christopher Buehlman about the latter's historical horror novel, Between Two Fires. Excellent questions from the audience, too.

Thank you for hosting, Eryn. Cool questions. Is it ghosts haunting us, or are we haunting the dead? My collection CORPSE ROAD BLUES 👇 🩸📚 www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0FC...

Just back from a lovely and inspirational weekend in Derby at the Ghost Story Festival. Huge thanks to @alexdavis1981.bsky.social and team for organising the fest, and all the speakers, panelists, and guests who made it a success. Now to take stock of my notes and work on a new ghastly tale of woe 👻

#TBRuary I've just added Cthulhu Cymraeg, The Night Country: Lovecraftian Tales from Wales (pub. Crossroads Press). I think there's a Arthur Machen spin to the stories too. I like Wales, Machen is class, and it's been a while since I dipped my toe in the pool of the Elder Gods.🩸📚

Book cover: features a track in desolate Welsh countryside dominated by a brooding sky, the clouds turning into something monstrous

Magic Hour by @momoshaty.bsky.social in the her collection Clairviolence: Tales of Tarot and Torment (pub. @tenebrouspress.bsky.social ) is a heart-wrenching portrayal of fear. Superb. 🩸📚💙📚

Book cover: a colourful illustration of offal, crawling with bugs and a green snake, hung on thorny branches above a bed of fungi.

#TBRuary The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum because I've heard good things about this. It's been on my e-reader for a while now.

Penguin Popular Classics edition cover with green tint. Illustrations of the main protagonist walking.

An uncanny cushion cover depicting the head of a scared lamb. The cushion is particularly horrible due to the fact that the lamb's eyeballs are bulging and the mouth is wide open in a silent scream that shows the lamb's fangs.

#TBRuary Reading non-fiction helps generate ideas for my own fiction. I wonder what stories will emerge from Lone Rider. Elspeth Beard is an award-winning architect and motorcyclist. In the early 1980's she was the first British woman to ride around the world. 💙📚 #amwriting

Elspeth Beard sat on her BMW motorcycle on a London street.

#TBRuary Slewfoot by Brom Set in New England, US. Witches in New England have been written about many times and I'm not overly keen to tread that path again, but this book intrigues me enough to give it a go. 📚💙📚🩸
